The self-styled Special One only returned to the west London club last summer from La Liga giants Real Madrid after a six years away from the Blues, during which time the Portuguese had coached the likes of Inter Milan and los Blancos.

However, Mourinho now says that he wants Chelsea to be his final port of call before he takes on the job of managing his country, unless of course the club’s billionaire Russian owner decides otherwise and once again cuts short Mou’s stay in the capital.

“I’m not here thinking about my next move because I don’t want to have a next move,” he said. “I will have a next move if and when Chelsea decides it’s time for that,” Mourinho said.

“I’m not chasing new experiences, trying to find where I like it more, where I can make new things for my career — no. It’s a completely different perspective.

“I’m here to stay. I belong to Chelsea, Chelsea belong to me. I gave a lot to Chelsea in the past but they also gave a lot to me. This is a different professional relationship.”
